    1.St Kilda... Collingwood will be top 4 and we are looking for the bottom half of the 8

    2.Brisbane... keeps both Adelaide and Brisbane within a bulls roar of MFC

    3 Geelong (see 1)

    4. Freo... see 2

    5.North v Swans... probably irrelevant but if one needs to pick perhaps Swans .. would hate to be playin North for a spot in the 8 in Round 23 in Tasmania.

    6.Suns... see 2

    7. Richmond... will make the 8 whereas we compete with Hawthorn

    8. Giants but a Carlton upset would be okay

    I'm a bit the opposite. Would prefer Essendon to beat Freo and have as many teams on 4-5 as possible.

    Remarkably, if we lose to West Coast and GWS but knock off Adelaide in Darwin, the ladder could look like this after round 11:

    Fremantle 5-6  (8th)

    ---------------------------

    Hawthorn  5-6

    Port  5-6

    Essendon   5-6

    St Kilda  5-6

    Bulldogs  4-7

    North Melb   4-7

    Melbourne 4-7.

    We could still be in this thing despite losing 2 of our next 3 games.

    What an 'interesting' mess of a season. Keeps the possibilites just that little bit alight.

    Excellent to see Adelaide still not quite getting it together. Keeps my 'on the hunt' dreams alive for the NT game.

    I'll be at the Western Sydney / Carlton game tomorrow and will try to report as much as I can on GWS from up close.

     

    On another note, 'our' Bernie Vince seems to be going alright on the MMM commentary panel, currently doing Geelong-Bulldogs.

    Brisbane Lions have risen from the ashes.  Very exciting team.

    Heading to the MCG this afternoon to watch the Richmond V hawthorn game,

    Beautiful day for football. Hoping for a good game. I will be leaving at half time if it is a repeat of the Essendon v Freo game of last night.

    Maggots maintaining their pathetic performances in the Port v Suns game. 

    AFL needs to address this as a matter of urgency.

    Woeful.

    Another case where players stopped thinking a free would be paid in the Hawks/Tigers game. 

    RIP Holding the ball.

    At the mcg. Nowhere near the crowd I was expecting. Lots of people trying to get in but probably fifty thousand at best

    Hawthorn supporters must be the biggest bunch of fair weather, band-wagoners going around. They didn’t turn up last week either.

    It's a Richmond home game but I would say the crowd is around sixty forty tigers way so disappointing all round.

    The MCC section is very sparsely occupied. I'm in the AFL area and have a section of the stand for myself

    Anyone understand why Carlton would have to wear white against GWS?  How on earth would Navy Blue (with white shorts) clash with the GWS colours?  Defies logic.  Yeah.  I know.  It's the AFL.  Nuff said...!

    Same as asking why we wore our red-backed jumper on Friday night. We played West Coast in Perth twice last year and wore our normal jumper with white shorts both times. There's no clash at all between their royal blue/yellow and our navy blue.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
